Happy Neurodiversity Celebration Week.

When I was diagnosed with ADHD, it didn’t come as just one feeling. It was a mix. Relief, mostly. Like finally being handed the right map after years of thinking I was just bad at reading directions.

But alongside that relief, there was something else. A kind of grief and mourning.

Looking back at being a kid, at school, at moments where I was told I was lazy, difficult, too much, not enough… I can’t help but wonder what it might’ve felt like to be understood instead of corrected. To be encouraged instead of managed. Included and not excluded. To be seen properly.

For a long time, I thought those parts of me were flaws. Things to hide, fix, or apologise for.

Now I see them differently.

Not as something broken, just something different.

And different doesn’t need fixing, it needs understanding.

If anything, I hope things are changing. That more people are growing up being recognised for how their minds actually work, not how they’re expected to.

This week isn’t just about awareness, it’s about celebration.

Different minds. Different ways of seeing the world. Different ways of being.

And all of them valid. by @thomrylance

LIFE THRU A LENS 📷

A few behind-the-scenes moments from my camera, taken towards the end of our LATAM adventure (for now).

Rob was recently asked what the most important thing backstage is. ‘No dickheads’.

And I can honestly say that every single person on this team is warm, welcoming, funny, kind, compassionate and wildly talented. It’s been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to spend time with such a wonderful bunch of people.

Not a single dickhead among them.

Except me.

Goodnight Andy.

You found us in the Standard Mower, and together we went further than either of us could have ever imagined.

Thank you for letting me live with you when I was stupid and 20. You looked after me. You were always there for me. We had so many adventures and laughed so much. We shared a deep and important love of TK Maxx. I once threw your Lonsdale shoes in the bin, which I still maintain was for your own good and an act of kindness.

It’s strange how those stupid little memories suddenly don’t feel little at all. I can’t go to a McDonald’s drive though without asking for a ‘large Lilt’, and that’s your fault.

I can’t believe you’re gone, mate. I’m so grateful for all the years, all the miles, all the ridiculous stories and everything we got to see and do together.

Thank you for finding us. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for being my friend.

Love you, Andy. We’ll all miss you so much. ❤️ by @thomrylance
